Nike have released the Chelsea F.C. Energy Third Dri-FIT Long-Sleeve football shirt, presented in a Rush Blue, Global Red and White colour scheme.
With details influenced by 1990s football shirts, the new Chelsea jersey is predominantly Rush Blue and features narrow white vertical pinstripes across the front and back. Darker tonal blue stripes sit alongside the white lines, creating a repeating pattern through the body, with the long sleeves left largely plain.
A V-neck collar is finished with white and Global Red bands, with the same striped treatment used around the sleeve cuffs. On the chest, a white Nike Swoosh outlined in red appears opposite a retro-style Chelsea crest, presented on a white shield with red edging and blue detailing.
Unlike the club’s standard match shirts, the jersey is sponsor-free across the front. A Nike Team Sports label near the lower hem adds another reference to Nike football shirts and apparel from the 1990s. The vertical stripe pattern continues across the rear of the jersey, with the upper back and shoulders retaining the Rush Blue base.
The Chelsea Energy Third shirt forms part of a wider collection. Alongside the long-sleeved jersey, the range includes a Chelsea F.C. Primary Third Dri-FIT top, plus Nike Repel i96 tracksuit pieces comprising a white and blue jacket and coordinating blue bottoms.
